Kept mainly for its mopping: a roller with real downward pressure and edge contact that most owners rate well, accepted alongside weaker battery life and divided results on obstacle avoidance.

What keeps coming up
Owners who summed up the experience as a whole came down positive, and several who have owned many robot mop-vacs put the Z60 at or near the top of what they have tried. For homes with dogs and hard floors, the mopping is the part they describe as changing daily life.
Reliability is the clear complaint. Accounts include a unit leaking water from the robot and the mop system within three months, with a hard factory reset changing nothing, and at least one owner who returned theirs under warranty.
What keeps people attached is the mop. Owners with two or more dogs and people tracking in dirt say the mopping mattered as much as the vacuuming, and one who put the fluffing roller through a stress test with dried mess came away convinced it was not just marketing. The robot tells you when to clean the roller or change the filter, and one eight-month owner was impressed by how little it consumes in supplies. On a 200 square metre tiled floor, vacuuming first and then mopping takes about three hours, which that owner considered reasonable.
The adjustments cluster around battery, navigation and the app. Owners are divided on obstacle avoidance: some who have run it beside Narwal, Roborock and Roomba say it cleans as well as any of them but lacks flagship-level avoidance, and one found it a step down from their previous machine. It can refuse to go under couches even with clear headroom because the lidar periscope drops. Battery life draws more complaints than praise, to the point that one otherwise happy owner would not recommend it as a standalone vacuum. Setting a new task while one is already running is awkward. Support experiences are divided too: one caller got through to an overseas line so staticky the conversation was hard to follow, while others had returns and warranty claims accepted.
Reliability & repairs
The better accounts describe a machine that misbehaves occasionally but for traceable reasons: cobwebs hanging over a sensor, a no-mop zone blocking its path. Those owners clear the cause and carry on. The worse accounts are harder to fix. One owner's unit began leaking water from both the robot and the mopping system three months in, a factory reset did nothing, and support did not resolve it. Another returned theirs under warranty and moved to a different brand. Hair tangling, build quality and carpet performance each drew more complaints than praise, though the accounts behind them are few. Buying certified refurbished with an extended third-party warranty is one workaround owners mention.
Long-term evidence is thin. The longest account we have runs to about eight months, several owners are still in what they call testing, and the reliability theme is a small share of the total. Treat the leak and warranty stories as real but early, not as a settled failure rate.

Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.

Counted from public accounts by people who said they own it, and summarised by Still Kicks in its own words. Not a manufacturer claim, a lab test or an estimate.
